SWEP Prescriber Communique - SWEP AOPA Quotation Template

15 August 2017

Dear Prescribers,

I am excited to announce that SWEP has consulted with AOPA to create a quotation template to be submitted with future orthotic applications. The aim of this template is to ensure clear, consistent quotation practice that will allow us to better understand your services and costs. Expert practitioners within the field have reviewed the template to ensure it aligns closely with the practices of our prescriber group.

SWEP expect that there may be comments and questions regarding this and welcome all feedback.

This template will become necessary for the quotation of orthotic items through the VAEP program as from the 1st of September (1/9/2017) and is currently being reviewed by our NDIA team to assess if there are any additions needed to comply with NDIA requirements. It is anticipated that it will reduce confusion and delays in the prescription of equipment for SWEP allowing us to provide equipment more quickly without needless administrative delays.

Below is a brief word from AOPA, we are pleased to say that our ongoing relationship allows us to promote best practice in consultation with industry.

" AOPA has been pleased to work with SWEP in the drafting process of this template. Whilst this is a substantial change to quoting processes for practitioners in Victoria, this quoting template and the expectations for clinical justification are largely in line with AOPAs previously released guidance documents and templates. These are available in the Member Centre of the AOPA website for members seeking further clarity on quoting and justification practices. " - Leigh Clarke, AOPA Executive Officer

For more information regarding SWEP provider responsibilities the assistive technology that may be funded, please access the SWEP Provider manual and equipment pick list.  

We look forward to continuing to work with you and will see you at the next AOPA conference.

Kind regards,
 
Fiona Wakeling
